What the Pavement Holds
What the Pavement Holds
Completed: Spring 2026
Client: Downtown Atlanta Inc
Scope of Work: Mural Design
I transformed one of Downtown Atlanta's busiest intersections into a tribute to the people, places, and moments that shaped the city. Each of the four crosswalks pulls from a different piece of Downtown's story.
The west crosswalk takes its cue from athletic track markings, a nod to the 1996 Olympics and the way that moment cemented Atlanta's place on the global stage.
The east crosswalk centers on a globe with "ATL" woven into the pattern, a quiet way to signal connection, movement, and the city's reach beyond its own borders.
The south crosswalk leans into Downtown's historic character with art deco patterns drawn from the elevator gate in the William-Oliver Building, a small architectural detail that says a lot about the craftsmanship of the era.
The north crosswalk references the glass elevators at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, designed by John Portman, whose buildings still shape how people move through Downtown.
At the four corners, near the curb ramps, I tucked in a detail inspired by the roof of Polaris.
